Title:
Ubuntu doesn't play well with emacs --daemon across sessions
Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: emacs23
One of the best new features in emacs23 is "--daemon". An emacs
daemon can persist as long as you want, across login sessions.
However, this doesn't work well in Karmic because of two issues:
1. The XAUTHORITY environment variable changes with every login
session, so when you log in a second time the daemon is using a stale
value and cannot open new windows. I tried to work around this by
using "M-x setenv" from within emacs, but apparently emacs doesn't
reread the environment (strace shows it still trying to open the old
path).
2. Gnome complains that emacs is still running when you log out.
(Yes, of course it's still running, that's the point.) This is just a
minor annoyance, you can ignore the warning and it doesn't cause
further problems.
